Butler wasn't the same after the major knee injury. 

That was the wrong era to have knee surgery

Blake Costanzo 

 

I was at a bar in Essex, CT and I met a great couple from New Jersey, and Jet fans.  When they found out I was a Bills fan, they excitedly told me that the Bills had great special teams, and Blake Costanzo was a big part of ST success.

 

They explained that they lived next store to Costanzo, and that their son and Blake had been best buddies their whole lives.  Blake was always at the house hanging out, eating dinner.  He said Blake was a like a son to him, and Blake was an awesome person.  He said that their son was in Special Forces.  So they say to me- what’s yours address, and I write it down and give it to them.  
 

A week or two later I get a package from New Jersey.  The awesome couple sent me an autographed Bills hat by Blake.  Very Classy move Jersey and Blake!

Kolb’s career ending slipping on a mat before ever playing a snap for Bills.  
 

Honorable mention:  Duke Williams game winning TD catch and the false hope of future contribution it created lol

Preston Ridlehuber, a reserve running back, came into a close game against the Boston Patriots and threw a long halfback option pass for a touchdown. It was the difference in the game. I remember the name but googled it to be sure of my facts and found an interesting fact. He was the player for the Oakland Raiders who scooped up the onside kick to beat the Jets in the “Heidi” game

Karlos Williams the buffet king in his first season scoring all of those TD’s.

 

If Karlos had been a bit more disciplined and perhaps chose a better female he could have been an elite runningback.

Todd Schlopy made 2 out of 5 FG attempts to win a scab game against the NYG (with Lawrence Taylor crossing the picket line) 6-3 in 1987.

 

It was the worst football game I’ve ever witnessed in person.

 

 

I was there.

In the playoff game, Don Shula’s final game, Thurman Thomas bowled over Fish DC Tom Olivadotti on the sidelines.

 

How is that for symbolism?
 

Same game where the Canadian Comet Tim Tindale scored a TD.

I heard Josh Stamer used to get in bar fights around Buffalo.

I believe that.  Was a wild dude.  It's a shame he was stuck here during some awful Bills teams

Kevin Everett being paralyzed during the home opener vs Denver.  Ralph being a major contributor to study of injecting freezing cold saline solution into body to control swelling.  Those Doctors were there.  Because of that, Everett is now able to walk.  Ended up naming my son after him.

Willie Totten -- started two games at QB during the 1987 strike.  Set numerous college records as Jerry Rice's QB at Mississippi State.

 

IK Enemkpali -- broke Geno Smith's jaw because Smith laughed at him when he asked for his promised reimbursement for plane tickets to a Smith charity event.

 

Marlin Briscoe -- first black starting QB in the NFL.  Started 5 games in his rookie year with 14 TDs for Denver in 1968 before being traded to Buffalo after he found out Denver wanted to convert him to CB.

Monte Ledbetter -reserve WR in the 60’s was friends with my English teacher and she got him to come to our little league football practice and talk with the team.

NT 49ers. I was the starting QB.

Briscoe wasn’t ‘random’. He became a Pro Bowl WR for us & the Dolphins.
